The tequila sunrise is an intricate and pretty sexy women’s wrestling submission hold. It is what they call a combo-hold: it combines several holds to create a combination which is more difficult to escape for the victim. The victim is face down on the mat and the attacker starts out by putting her right leg over her extended left arm and then twisting it back over her lower leg in a hammerlock kind of way. As she twists the victim’s arm back, she sits atop the victim’s back, locking the trapped arm under her bottom. With the victim’s left arm thus secured and with both her own arms free, the attacker then proceeds to secure a single leg boston crab on the already locked-up victim. She then simply maintains the hold until cries of uncle are heard.  Due to its intricacy and to the obvious peril in which the victim is in the hold, the Tequila sunrise is probably one of the most spectacular ladies’ wrestling submissions.

Possible escape: a well locked-in tequila sunrise is quite impossible to escape. Unless the attacker chooses to release her, the victim will only escape by submitting.

Rating: due to its intricately spectacular nature, the tequila sunrise is more than suited to be used as a finisher. The victim only has one arm left free, so she can use it to tap out – this hold really has everything covered.
